What this book is about
Nik Paterson is perfectly happy with her life until her boyfriend proposes at a Dodgers game in front of 45,000 people. She says no. The stranger who swoops in to help her escape the moment is Carlos Ibarra — a doctor she's never met. What starts as a thank-you drink becomes something neither of them planned for. A companion to The Wedding Date, set in the same world with some overlapping characters.
